US Edition‘Wonder Man’ Now Has The Second Highest Rotten Tomatoes Score In The MCU
- Following Echo's release strategy, Wonder Man debuts on Disney+ with a spoiler-free review calling it a solid start and a character-driven Marvel Spotlight series on January 27.

- Yahya Abdul-Mateen II anchors the pilot as Simon Williams, delivering an energetic, likable lead performance with notable gravitas, while Ben Kingsley's Trevor Slattery returns as an entertaining mentor and clear MCU tie.
- A late-game curveball reframes the pilot, and whether audiences accept the show's different spin will determine its resonance within the MCU.
- Critics ask whether the premise justifies an eight-episode run, while the reviewer argues Marvel probably should have shown more faith, energized by Destin Daniel Cretton's direction.
